Veo 4 is a multimodal AI video generation tool, officially positioned as a "truly controllable multimodal AI video model," with the core proposition of "reference anything, edit anything, create anything—with native audio."
[Main Capabilities]
- Multimodal input: Multiple reference materials can be combined in a single generation, including images, video clips, and audio files, freely mixing text, images, video, and audio to express ideas.
- Reference capabilities: Motion, effects, camera movement, characters, scenes, and sound can be referenced from uploaded content, described in natural language.
- Native audio generation: While generating video, it simultaneously generates lip-synced dialogue, Foley effects, and background music, without additional tools or manual synchronization.
- Multi-shot storytelling: Build logically coherent scene sequences from a single prompt, with characters, clothing, and lighting remaining consistent across shot changes, supporting 4–15 second shots without manual splicing.
- Consistency: Maintain consistency of faces, clothing, text, scenes, and visual style throughout the entire video.
- Motion and camera replication: Upload a reference video to replicate complex choreography, cinematic camera movement, and action sequences without detailed prompts.
- Video extension and editing: Smoothly extend existing videos, merge multiple clips, or edit specific segments, allowing replacement of characters, addition of elements, or modification of actions while preserving the rest.
- Cinematic quality: Output finished-level content with synchronized audio, supporting horizontal and vertical formats.
[How to Use] The official steps are:
- Upload materials: Upload image, video, or audio files as references, combining multiple materials across modalities.
- Describe the idea: Describe requirements in natural language, and reference specific materials via tags, for example, "use @image1 as the first frame, use the camera movement of @video1, and sound like @audio1."
- Generate and iterate: Generate videos with native audio, then extend, edit, or fine-tune by uploading the results.
[Applicable Scenarios] Officially listed scenarios include: advertising and marketing (reference successful ad templates and apply them to your own products and brand); education and training (animated explanations, historical recreations, interactive learning materials); creative storytelling (reference film techniques, replicate film styles, extend stories across multiple shots); social media content (reference trending templates and effects); sports and dance videos (upload reference choreography or action clips and apply them to any character); video editing and extension; film and television previsualization (reference film clips to replicate camera movement, transitions, and visual effects); real estate and architecture (turn property photos into immersive virtual tours); music and audio synchronization (upload audio tracks to generate beat-synchronized videos).
[Limitations and UnInformation provided] The available information does not provide specific pricing amounts, detailed contents of each plan, the specific supported resolutions, maximum video length, or other parameters; these details are subject to what is published on the official page. The official page mentions that multiple plans are offered and that all plans include core features, and that annual payment can save 50%, but it does not list specific prices. The information also does not explain whether generated videos have watermarks, the specific privacy and security measures, and other details. Although the FAQ lists related questions, it does not provide answers.
